I'm on a four-week pay cycle, like some kind of povvo, so my payday isn't until next Friday.
It *is* bonus day today, however. I might buy something later.
What can you get for a budget of £10.50?

Alt: My life is a series of bad ideas, cobbled together by woe and regret.

In other news, how are we all today?

WTF is a "bonus"

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 27 Feb 2015, 11:55, Reply)

Apparently, it's a 'thank you' for all our hard work over the last year.
Basically, it's a bone they throw us once a year in lieu of paying actual decent wages.

Is it worth having?

My wife just paid off our credit cards with her bonus
My bonus is usually 2 free drinks in the campus bar at Christmas.

That's nice.
Nice new clean slate. You can start ramping then up again.

I can't remember the last time I used a credit card
which is a bit silly, seeing as we've got one of those ones that pays cash back for doing your shopping.

We use them all the time for the clubcard points

I put everything through a credit card
more protection, improves credit rating and you get vouchers and stuff.
(Baggenfrock get fucked, Fri 27 Feb 2015, 12:04, Reply)

I dread to think what my credit rating might be these days
seeing as I have no mortgage, no loans, and don't use credit cards.

Any money is worth having, I suppose, no matter how fewer.
It's only in the low three figures, though. I'm not going to go out and buy diamonds, put it that way.

A few hundred quid is a weekend away I suppose.

It's the money she made from elderley people who are entitled to free scripts
but insist on paying something towards them anyway.
( Muns, Fri 27 Feb 2015, 11:57, Reply)

As if ANYONE entitled to free scripts
has ever wanted to pay ANYTHING for ANYTHING.

pay 50p for a pack of ibuprofen? No thanks, I'll get my doctor to prescribe some and I'll get them free.

I do that.

Except the whole process (doctors appointment etc) probably cost the taxpayer about £50
FUCK YOU SOCIALISM
(Baggenfrock get fucked, Fri 27 Feb 2015, 12:07, Reply)

Pharmacies get paid about nine quid for filling a prescription,
minus the patient contribution.
That means every free pack of paracetamol we give out costs the taxpayer huge amounts of money. It would be cheaper to just give them a box off the shop floor.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Fri 27 Feb 2015, 12:11, Reply)

Not bad, thanks.
I can't be bothered today though. I might go and get some grub. Japanese Canteen as a Friday treat.

4 week payments used to drive me mental when i was a letting agent
12 calendar months in the year. so why, why, why do housing benefits pay in lots of 4 weeks? it means the tenant shows as being permanently in arrears and nothing balances and when you have a massive rent roll of 4000 tenants with about 800 on benefits it takes forever why councils why whyyyyyyyyy?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 27 Feb 2015, 11:56, Reply)

Thirteen four-week blocks in a year
means that one month has two paydays in it. It's really quite weird.

I'm okay but being at work really is getting in the way or much more important stuff.

Sorry the answer I was looking for was 'much more important stuff'
Thanks for playing
